“The Miteni incident involved the direct discharge of wastewater into rivers over several decades, leading to significant environmental and health impacts, said the company. Such practices are not permissible under India’s stringent regulatory framework, which mandates rigorous environmental clearances, continuous monitoring and strict compliance standards, it added.”
